An unexpected spot with good Thai fare. Excellent, freshly grilled shrimp in red curry paste was my favorite. We went on a weekend and there was no one else eating in, -- we got the feeling the place depends on takeout. The tom kha needed a bit of lime juice, lemongrass/ galangal and /or sambal, but our meal was otherwise very flavorful. Excellent Thai iced tea and the dry seafood with curry paste and bell peppers that my friend ordered was delicious. Would return on the way headed thru Maine! read more

We decided to dine at Chaba Thai today 8/29/2025 and wow glad we did. We were greeted and seated quickly as we walked in. Chaba was a small but clean, cozy space. We ordered cocktails, appetizers and entrees. Wow !!! Food was absolutely amazingly delicious; cocktails were excellent. Customer service was spot on and prices were reasonable. Quick, attentive and friendly. Clean bathroom. We definitely recommend and if we return to Maine, we'll come back for more. read more

Feeling like Thai food, we decided to try Chana, as it was near where we were staying. The service was amazing, as was the food presentation. The restaurant was very nice inside, and very clean. I ordered a Thai iced tea, crab Rangoons, and drunken noodles. Nothing was bad, but the unique Thai flavors that I love seemed to be lacking. It certainly wasn't bad, but there are other options that I would likely choose for the next trip. read more

Tried this for the first time and was super impressed. We ate there and the service was quick and friendly. You could tell they do a lot of take out but they have lots of tables and drinks if you do want to sit in. I got a noddle dish and it was great and came out fast. We also tried the pork dumplings and those were great too. The prices are decent and you get a lot of food. I will be back for sure! read more

Not the best thai food but quite adequate to fill your bellies. The restaurant is right on route 1 in Scarborough.

Stopped in for dinner and had a great meal. The crab Rangoons were delicious, loved the summer roll and the Shrimp Pad Thai was great too! Service was wonderful as well! Love knowing they are located just a hop, skip and a jump from the campground we frequent while here in Maine! read more

I love Thai Food. We don't know what this was. IT was anything but Thai. The entrees sloppy, dry, poorly prepared & cooked:( $ if a patron requests extra sauce,which (mini-me 1 oz. Covered cupps!) The peanut sauce which was undelish, After 1 bite I couldn't go any further I couldn't choke it down!! The noodles were ultra thin. & resembled Ramen! Yuk, double yuk! It was gross & a waste of $70.00. If we had been in close proximity to this Anything-butt-Thai food facility it would have gone back. All was thrown in the dumpster! Idk why it has 5 . Friends & family? I visit the 1 & ONLY Thai place near me. If anyone is interested..... scan my reviews & you'll find the 1 I'm referencing.. Chaba would do themselves a favor if 1 of their cooks took a cooking lesson from the best of the best me 3 people with a good palate made the same comment! 3 out of 3 agreed=it was the utmost gross! Chaba is Blahhba! This was a total disappointment after traveling hours. read more

Bartender was nice and friendly while I was waiting for my takeout order. The food was all overcooked. My wife's chicken fried rice - the chicken was dry and inedible. The noodle dish, the noodles were mush. The flavor of the dish was good but offset by the way overdone noodles The Thai chicken wings were again way overcooked and dry. There was no discernible flavor. The steamed dumplings again were nothing to order again. The place was clean but empty on a Saturday night. read more

Visited Chaba Thai twice when we were in Maine this summer. I am a big fan of Thai food, and have tried it all around the country (travel a lot for work). This place blew us away (thus the repeat visit!). I had the panang curry with chicken one visit, and the pad thai the second visit (on the recommendation of one of my guys). They tried two different dishes as well. Panang curry and pad thai are my go to's, and as such, I've tried a lot of them! These were truly excellent. One heads up I will give -- if you order it spicy, you better truly like spicy -- they don't play! I think I did one star on the spicy scale for my panang curry and it kept my attention; one of my guys had their pad thai with four stars (and there's still one more star above that!) and I tasted it and it was "Oh my god, why do you hate me???" spicy. He loved it and ate every morsel. We ate in both times, so can't speak to delivery. But if you like Thai food, we'd definitely recommend Chaba to anyone in the area. read more

Beef Thai Noodle Soup (Boat Noodle Soup) was amazing. Best broth between here and Massachusetts

This has to be one of my favorite restaurants I've been too. The staff are so friendly, the food and drinks are great, and the prices are cheap. The pork dumplings were hot and juicy. The drinks we both had were delicious. The pumpkin curry with beef is a special curry they have at the moment and it was so flavorful. The crispy pad Thai is my absolute favorite dish here. Lastly we had the mango sticky rice for dessert which never misses the mark! All of that and the restaurants ambiance was calm and pleasant with light music in the background. read more

We enjoyed a delicious meal tonight at Chaba Thai. I loved the ratio of meat and veggies to noodles in my duck pad see ew, all perfectly cooked with just the right amount of sauce. My husband's bacon pad thai was also tasty. This restaurant is a good option and reasonably priced. The server was slammed - just him covering the whole dining room, the bar, and handing out the takeout orders for most of our time there - but he did excellent work. read more

The ambiance was shabby and unkempt and had an off musty odor. The food was mushy/overcooked. Won't be going back.

Discovered this spot while visiting Old Orchard Beach and it was some of the best Thai I've had in New England. Ordered Pad Thai and Drunken Noodles, and they give us humongous pieces of chicken satay for our appetizer. Highly recommend. read more

Be very careful with them. The Chef out back is very angry. If he does not like something - he will tell you to leave and never comeback. Scary place , because out front seems friendly , but that is just a front. read more

Most definitely have to give it a try!!! While I know things aren't quite perfect when we get delivery vs table service.. but the food is SO good even a 15 - 30 minute delay in serving it makes little difference! So good great spices so well done! read more

Delicious Southern Thai food in Scarborough! The flavors at Chaba are nuanced and delicious. Some of the items have almost a Malaysian profile such as the Pineapple fried rice. The Tom Kha soup is a sweet variety which some might find odd. It's just a different style. We tried three appetizers: Tom Kha soup, fried spring rolls and the pork dumplings. All were delicious starters. The spring rolls were my favorite and they came out piping hot! (Thank you.) For entrees we sampled the Pad Thai with duck, Massaman Curry with beef and Pineapple fried rice with Shrimp. All three were delicious. I would recommend the crispy duck over the roast duck but all in all, I would eat this exact meal again. I wish they had roasted chilis but that might be a more northern thing. Try an old favorite or something you haven't had before; you may be surprised! read more

Delicious Thai food, excellent service. Have dined in and had take out. A hidden gem.

Great food. I had the lunch teriyaki with salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the veggies were crisp tender and bright. The service was exceptional as well. Prices were very reasonable for such high quality food and service. read more

Ordered take out from Chaba Thai while on vacation. Online ordering was super simple. They have a solid menu of Thai favorites. Food was ready for pick up in 20 minutes and was very tasty. Had 2 noodle dishes, chicken wings, steamed dumplings, and fresh (spring) rolls. All were very tasty. Would definitely order again. read more

Well, another restaurant that had good reviews, but was very disappointing. We ordered takeout: Pad Thai with tofu for my husband, and Panang Curry with chicken for me. Plus a couple of egg rolls, as well. My husband's dish was bland (he had to doctor it a bit at home to make it somewhat enjoyable), and about 4 pieces of tofu. Four. I don't know when you last bought tofu, but it's cheap. Four pieces of tofu costs less than a quarter, and it would've been nice to see some more in there. My curry had good flavor--and good heat (I ordered a 5)--but the curry itself was a bit thin, and the chicken was dry as a bone. Forget the egg rolls. We couldn't detect a single ingredient that was supposed to be in there. I'd like to think it was an off-night, but unfortunately we won't venture another go. All of this for $41.00. What a deal, right? read more

Excellent good food fresh and hot very friendly atmosphere. Generous portions of Real crabmeat in the Rangoons.

I always love when I find Tom Yum Noodle Soup and this was a good one. I was sad to find the dining room empty other than us, more people need to familiarize themselves with Thai food. Find a friend that knows what's good and give it a go! Way better than Chinese. My friend got the pad thai with duck and loved it. The portion sizes are really good and the service was great. Don't forget the Thai iced tea!! read more

Place fux. Drunken noodle that dopeness. Good people. Food ready super fast. What's not to like

Favorite place to eat at the moment , constantly fresh food with burst of amazing flavors. Friendly staff every time I go , best drinks and one of the few places where the duck is actually worth ordering. Very chill vibes , easy going . Great place for a first date something different read more

Chaba Thai has been my go to Thai Spot for years now. I found it when I moved in the adjacent apartment complex and ordered it weekly for 2 years. They always get your order right and it's always hot and fresh. Until recently, the past three times I've been to Chaba I have noticed a difference in the quality and flavor of their food. For example, the spring rolls are no longer wrapped tight and filled with fresh vegetables. They now are loose, greasy and filled with what seems like old rice or something mushy. Other dishes are not mixed well, spices are only on parts of the dish and missing bean sprout toppings. I also noticed a bad odor the last time I was in the restaurant. Super disappointing!! read more

Chaba Thai Cuisine - They changed the recipe on the spring rolls.. the inside is more of a paste and no longer fresh vegetables and clear noodles. - Thai Near Me - Scarborough, Maine

This was a last-minute decision to try this restaurant for dinner. It was recommended to us by a co-worker who attended culinary school and we thought we'd give it a try. We were not disappointed. We were seated right away, service was fast and friendly, and the prices were not outrageous for being located in a touristy area. I had the eggplant , onions , peppers, pea pods, and other vegetables in brown sauce with white rice. Also had the hot and sour soup. All were delicious. Try the Thai tea. Amazing. The decor is tiki-hut kitschy, I'm goofy that way, I liked it. We will be back. read more

Food is excellent. Prices are good very happy with the results at this restaurant. Pad Thai dishes are awesome, not to mention the pineapple fried rice read more

My favorite local Thai restaurant, eat in or takeout. Good food and service, acceptable ambiance,

Drunken noodles, Pad Thai, pan fried pork dumplings and custard with sticky rice... Amazing!! Kathi and I have eaten thai in many places across the USA, and this is our new favorite! The service was without fault and the food was to die for. Sorry past favorites, you need to step up your game.... read more

I've driven past Chaba Thai more times than I can imagine - why we had never stopped in, I'm truly not sure...but now it will ALWAYS be on my cravings-list! We've grabbed takeout twice, both times made my tastebuds VERY happy. The most recent visit was a desperate need for sushi. We tried the Ebi Tempura Maki, California Roll, Tokyo and Las Vegas. The rolls were so fresh, clean on the palate and precisely what we were looking for. We also ordered a Pad See Eaw which was phenomenal. The portion was much smaller than we expected for the price - but after eating it we would happily indulge again! Huge pieces of veggies, incredible flat noodles, and the pork was an absolute delight! The first takeout was a California roll and the Ebi Tempura Maki - but we also ordered the roast duck fried rice and the Massaman Curry. The roast duck fried rice was a dream. I can't think of a time I didn't enjoy duck - but this was a step-above, even the husband liked it! So tender, and wonderfully flavored - fantastic job! The massaman curry made me very sad, and ended up immediately in the garbage. This was nothing like I had ever experienced with a massaman - it was thin like water, the flavor was barely noticeable and the tofu was the strangest tofu I've ever encountered - the cubes were empty? So bizarre. We won't be trying the curry here again. All in all, Chaba is now on our list of go-to spots in the area and I'm so excited as they are right down the street from us! I honestly don't know how we didn't take a single photo - apparently we were too excited to devour! read more

Very good Thai food. Service at lunch was quick and attentive. We will definitely be back

This hidden Thai gem is a perfect surprise when you have nothing but lobster around you. If you know anything about Southeastern countries, the restaurant interior is never anything extravagant. This place feels homey. I had good vibes the minute I sat down. I came in and had one of the lunch specials. I ordered the Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles), this is just the Pad See Eaw, but spicy. The lunch special also comes with a side, I ordered the Chicken Wings and for an additional $2, got the Tom Yum Soup. Everything was AMAZING together! My favorite was the Tom Yum Soup, but my only complaint was they used chicken instead of the traditional shrimp!! read more

Really good Thai food. My second visit was just as good as the first. Friendly staff, good food, attentive service and reasonable prices.
